Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is the man Juventus want to appoint as Massimiliano Allegri's successor.
Sarri has emerged as the Italian champions' first choice to fill their vacant position and confidence is growing at the Serie A giants that they can successfully agree a deal with Chelsea.
Sarri has two years left on his £5m-a-season Chelsea contract which he signed following his appointment last summer.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has agreed terms with Juventus, who are eager to appoint him
He would be in line for a pay rise should he seal a return to Italy having agreed in principle a three-year deal with Juventus worth around £6.2m-a-year.
Juventus' pursuit of Sarri will step up after this week's European finals.
The Italian's representatives are due for talks with Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia over his future following Wednesday's Europa League final between Chelsea and Arsenal.
Juventus are also keeping one eye on Saturday's Champions League final between Tottenham and Liverpool.
